Wade has previously used his profile to help the community after the tragic 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Recently retired basketball star Dwyane Wade made a surprise appearance this weekend at the graduation ceremony for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School class of 2019, speaking to the students and congratulating them on their achievements.
Wade continued: “I grew up in inner-city Chicago, and I’ve experienced a lot of things. But I’ve never experienced anything to the magnitude that you guys just experienced. I remember being surprised that everyone was excited to see me.” Aside from surprise appearances, Wade, who retired in April, has worked to assist the Parkland community via other altruistic avenues. He sponsored the creation of a local “Parkland 17” art exhibition, which he said was his way of “honoring” the fallen students and faculty. Along with his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, he donated $200,000 to the March for Our Lives demonstration that took place just over a month after the attack.
